Re: ChurchIndex.org

And where are you getting your data ? CLP will exclude BMS. We are inquiring with BMA about using their database. You do know they have it out on the internet with no sign in needed? I think the idea is seekers could find churches in one place. An average seeker isn’t going to even realise which co...

Re: submission and punishment

Perhaps there was an altercation inside the store between the parties. If so, it is probable that the victim had engaged in a less than Christlike manner in the store. Possibly. From other news sources, this trio had started multiple altercations with shoppers and was ordered to leave by store secu...

Re: Social Security ....The monthly Check...yes or no

People without SSNs can and do file taxes all the time and are required to do so. There is a fine for not using an SSN in some contexts but it is fairly modest. The fee for not issuing a 1099 is $275. A group of people who conspired to not have SSNs could indeed work on an independent contractor bas...

Should the government be allowed to require citizens to identify themselves?

Currently, in America and most other countries, the government is allowed to do the following things: - when conducting an investigation, demand that any person identify themselves. (Basically with a name, but since some names are very common, they may also demand an address, birthdate, etc.) - when...

Re: submission and punishment

As an example, three teenagers decided to beat a man to death outside a Kroger grocery store in Columbus. They did not use guns - just fists and kicks. https://www.10tv.com/amp/article/news/crime/3-arrested-charged-with-murder-fight-south-columbus-kroger/530-3819d16a-7208-48d4-9df5-0dedded72d34 They...

Re: submission and punishment

I suspect this is something the US will continually struggle with, there are prices to be paid for our love of individualism and self expression. The frontier mindset has not washed entirely out of the system where every MAN with a rifle and ax was king of his own castle. We have designed our law e...

Re: Automotive: One Man Engine Drop

Ken issued a lengthy discourse explaining to us how automotive insurance works, so I figure he can go do the research to correct his formula.

Re: submission and punishment

Everything is connected and the roots of our law enforcement culture run very deep, as do the characteristics of our culture that led us down the path we are on. The cultural differences between the US and say Norway are profound. Norway’s population is about 90% white. America is 60%. Norway is ac...

Re: Automotive: One Man Engine Drop

Ken’s formulas are incorrect. The correct formula will be left as an exercise to the reader. If you have a big deductible that would be part of the formula as well, but isn't really going to change the calculation because the deductible is taken out either way, whether you get the car repaired or r...
